1166 Attack 2 (2/2)
”This... This is ridiculous!”
”Seven slashes in one second! What incredible talent in Saber Art!” A middle-aged woman in glasses said as she sweated around her forehead. ”This level of Saber Art can be coined as a master in the world of blades and sabers.”
”Are you saying that this kid who's less than eighteen years old is a Saber Master?!” The person beside her, who was responsible for the operations whispered in disbelief.
”If everyone has this kind of talent in Battle Skills, no one would be using firearms to make up for their lack of skills.” The woman smiled wryly. ”It's as you said. This young man named Kong Xiaofei has indeed reached the pinnacle as a human weapon and it would be an understatement to call him a Saber Master.”
”Legend has it that a Saber Master is able to cut down the airplane in the sky.”
”My Lord, it's a flying bird...” The woman said helplessly.
”Alright, alright. A flying bird. It's incredible that he is able to stand toe to toe against our ultimate cyborg warrior without modifying his body at all!” The man in charge praised. ”How are we going to deal with this talented man who appeared out of nowhere?”
” I think...” The woman adjusted her glasses. ”I think we can try and make contact with him. The purpose of humans living in this world is to obtain reputation and authority to lead a better life. Perhaps we can recruit him into our organization, Vulture.”
”Recruit him?” The person in charge started to ponder about this possibility. ”Although he looks very promising, I don't think we have a suitable position for him even if we manage to recruit him...unless he is willing to be modified.”
”While it's true that we do not have a place for him to do what he does best, I think he is very suited to become an instructor. You have to know that there are less than five people with talent similar to his in the entire world and all of them are big shots with widespread reputation and influences. He has nothing as compared to them so he should be easily tempted by this invitation.”
The woman explained.
”Let's send some people to test the water.” The person in charge decided.
”Understood.”
*******
”It seems... that there is a little bit of Soul Energy, but it isn't as much as I expected,” Garen recalled the amount of aura he sensed from Yuria. He could only sense a vague Soul Energy when their limbs came in contact with each other.
”It seems to be in an inactive state.”
He sat in the courtyard in his new house. The golden sunlight shone through the skylight above him, bathing nothing else but him in the courtyard.
His new house was a villa located in a high-end residential area of the city center. A villa at the heart of the Lily of the Valley, a second-tier city, did not cost much at less than half a million.
The design of the villa is of the traditional, square double story with a courtyard. One may call it a gigantified version of siheyuan instead of a villa as it had slightly more area than the usual ones. Furthermore, it was much more beautiful as there were exquisite eagle sculptures placed at every edge of the roofs.
There was also a small pond at the entrance with a beautiful copper mermaid sculpture in it.
”I still can't confirm that he is an Inheritor. I need more time to interact with him,” Garen pondered.
He then recalled that Cyborg earlier and thought that he was rather powerful.
”I believe they will contact me on their own accord to test my attitude soon. The Vulture and The Four Great Cornerstones...” Yuria had told him everything he knew in the hospital and he had also found out that the Cyborg belonged to a large and mysterious organization, Vulture.
”The Savior is able to borrow the strength from the people around him and become strong enough to achieve his goal. Is he able to borrow strength from the others? Interesting...” Although Garen did not know what kind of abilities the remaining Three Great Cornerstones possess, he guessed that it would be something of similar scale.
The ability of the Savior was very subjective as it depended on how the user made use of it. If the people he borrowed the strength from were powerful, then he would be powerful as well. If he were to borrow it from many people, he would then become the Savior who bore the hope of tens of thousands of citizens. This would grant him strength so powerful to the realm where no one had seen before.
Crack... He heard someone returned as the door to the living room far away was opened, breaking off Garen's chain of thought.
”I'm back.” Kong Xinxue threw her high heels to one side, stepping onto the wooden floor still in her white stockings. She entered the house without even wearing any slippers.
”I heard that you are the one who sent Yuria and the other to the hospital?” Kong Xinxue carried a chair towards Garen, placed it down in front of him and sat on it.
The white one-piece dress was wrinkled horribly as it was used as a cushion when pressed in between the chair and her butt.
”Yeah.” Garen nodded.
”I heard that your Saber Art is incredibly good? Where did you learn that? Why did I not see you practice before in the past?” Kong Xinxue stared at Garen suspiciously.
”It's because I'm a genius.” Garen had no sense of shame. ”I learn those things via observation.” He replied calmly as he sat cross-legged on the floor.
”A genius...” Kong Xinxue was speechless. ”Alright genius. Can you tell me why there's such a drastic change in personality before and after the fever? Don't tell me a spirit possessed your body or something the Mysterious Old Man novel used to trick the kids.”
”Mysterious Old Man?” Garen was stunned. Transmigration novel had yet to gain its momentum in this world, right? Only people from Planet Earth would be able to mention the Mysterious Old Man novel naturally in their examples.
He then stared at Kong Xinxue suspiciously.
”What are you talking about?”
”What do you mean?” Kong Xinxue seemed to have sensed something as she started to act dumb. ”Regardless, I feel that there's something off about you.”
”In what aspect?” Garen did not understand her.
”Every aspect about you seems off.” Kong Xinxue took a deep breath. ”Recently, you've scored full marks for every exam paper. The teacher has already taken your paper as a benchmark for being the perfectly answered paper in the entire Five School Alliance. Oh right, I guess you haven't realized that that was a mock examination for the college entrance examination. Every student in the schools including us would be participating in it. You, on the other hand, have hit a perfect score...”
Garen wanted to say that he had solved them while he's half-awake but he was not sure if he should...
Regardless, he had decided to come to this world to take a rest so he was too lazy to take note of such trivial stuff.TL Note: siheyuan is a historical type of residence that was commonly found throughout China, most famously in Beijing and rural Shanxi.
